Accelerated Free Fall:
|
In an Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) skydive, you jump solo with
two licensed instructors flying next to you, as you freefall from
12,500'!! This altitude gives you more time to learn in freefall.
During the jump, instructors will teach you all the manoeuvres
necessary to fly your body safely through the air. You deploy the
parachute, and you alone get to fly your rectangular parachute like
a glider to the landing area! The skydive is preceded by six or
seven hours of classroom instruction. You may skydive the same day
after your class.
After your first AFF skydive, you can then progress through an
additional six level course to graduate from the student program.
The AFF program is a 7 level program. Levels 1, 2, & 3 require two
freefall Jumpmasters (JM's) to accompany the student. These dives
concentrate on teaching basic safety skills such as altitude
awareness, body position, stability during freefall, and most
importantly, a successful solo parachute deployment. On level 3 the
JM's will release the student in freefall for the first time, to fly
completely on their own.
Levels 4, 5, 6, & 7 require only one freefall JM and teach the
student air skills such as turns, forward movement and docking on
another person, backloops, fall rate control, and diving exits from
the plane.
Each AFF level is designed to take one jump, and requires about 45
minutes of training before the jump. After successfully performing
the objectives of each level, the student moves on to the next
level. After graduating Level 7, the novice skydiver will practice
and hone their skills by themselves
